Reconfigurable systems (or platforms) integrating one or more processors and a programmable matrix on a single die (ex: Excalibur of Altera, Virtex 4-Fx of Xilinx) are getting a large spread. Furthermore, a whole technological field is emerging now in the dynamic reconfiguration area. The designer faces software (specific or generic) and...

Mobile robotic systems are normally confronted with the shortage of on-board resources such as computing capabilities and energy, as well as significantly influenced by the dynamics of surrounding environmental conditions. This context requires adaptive decisions at run-time that react to the dynamic and uncertain operational circumstances for...

As reconfigurable computing solutions are emerging at the hardware level, there is an obvious need for well adapted design tools. This paper describes a research effort currently in progress that tries to address this problem. The EPICURE framework is a new global methodology based on the cooperation of tools adapted for the design of embedded...

This paper presents a new design methodology able to bridge the gap between an abstract specification and a heterogeneous reconfigurable architecture. The EPICURE contribution is the result of a joint study on abstraction/refinement methods and a smart reconfigurable architecture within the formal Esterel design tools suite. The original points...
